“I've only eaten here twice, but I promise I will become a fixture. Just a quaint little place, family owned 41 years, downtown near the water. A welcome respite from all the cookie cutter chain dumps where you're lucky to receive either good service OR good food. Yanas has both, everything you would expect from local folks that care.. You can sense the positive and warm energy immediately, and I'd be remiss if I didn't mention waitress Holly, who possesses those qualities in abundance. Kudos“

“I'm going to give them them five stars for food even though they're mostly seafood restaurant. I could smell the fishies in the air LOL but I'm just the weirdo that doesn't like it I can tell that the seafood lovers love it and locals alike. And the employees there are always so smiley and just happy to help and make you feel good and not like you're a burden on them and that they don't want to be there. Like some people do and some work environments. Its a domino effect when the employees are bright and bubbly, the customers feel happy and they're more enjoyable and less likely to complain I mean. And now and then you'll have your one person that you just can't please. But here everybody is just so pleasant. I'm always happy to go pick up and ordered for doordash there. I only wish I got them more often! Lol. You guys rock! Keep up the good work!

Parking: They don't have a lot of parking spots. They have a couple up front and the Russians just gravel so you kind of got to find them where you can LOL. It's not too difficult.

Kid-friendliness: Definitely a family oriented restaurant. I'd say! They're amazing here! You can bring your kids and your grandma LOL

Wheelchair accessibility: Absolutely on one level even on the outside I believe! Nobody has no excuses to not come. Try this restaurant out now LOL“

“We held a rehearsal dinner for my son’s wedding at Caribsea! We were so pleased with everything from the planning to the final bill. The atmosphere was elegant and cozy, the food was fabulous, and the service was above and beyond! We had a lot of guests with food allergies… chef prepared specific plates for each of those guests, they labeled all of the food just in case we missed anyone’s allergy (we did buffet style for the majority of our 50 guests.) The final cost (even with an open bar) was a pleasant surprise. I gave Caribsea a budget and they stayed well under - I was shocked. The quality of everything was worth so much more. Everyone had a great time! I want to thank Vito, chef and the wait staff - everyone was so kind and so professional!

Vegetarian options: We had vegan, serious food allergies, and gluten free guests. Chef made plates specifically for their likings.“
